Publication number: 20070248248Abstract: A modular integrated software and hardware suite can accept data exported from a voter registration database corresponding to requests for mail ballots, sort the data as necessary for ballot preparation, create a road map for ballot mailing preparation, provide for mail presorting, scan returned ballot envelopes using a ballot envelope scanner, and accept data from the scanner. The scanner uses a passive feed system, a separator brush, and a variable speed straight paper path to minimize jamming through the ballot envelope scanner. The scanner can work with a workstation application to interpret a barcode, store an image of the ballot envelope signature in association with a specific voter, print an endorsement on each verified ballot envelope, and store the endorsement with the signature image. The scanner can divert ballot envelopes with unrecognizable or unmatched barcodes to a separate tray for manual processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: Diebold Election Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brian Brucker, Harminder Patria, Brian Clubb, Lester Wright, Bryan Pittman, Donald Nelson, Robert Leonard, Bradley Borne, Brett Barrett, Jerry Wagoner, Gary Lemmon, John Elder, Darrin Heffernan

Patent number: 7128236Abstract: A label sheet assembly is provided with bar code information thereon defining the layout of the labels on the backing sheet. A versatile label dispenser apparatus advances the label sheets and deflects them over a peeling bar in one direction to partially separate the labels from the backing sheet; with the advancing action being determined by the bar code information. The label sheet assemblies are then deflected in the opposite direction, and are routed in a substantially flat condition to the output of the dispenser apparatus. The labels are partially dispensed, substantially vertically from the dispenser, and a substantial number of sensors are provided to sense when all of the labels have been removed; and then the dispenser advances the label sheet assembly to partially dispense the next row of labels. The bar code reader may also sense the leading edge of the label sheet assembly to accurately control the incremental advancing of the label sheet assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Stephen Presutti, Wallace R. Fischer, Bryan Pittman, Bradley Borne, Douglas W. Wilson, Anahit Tataryan

Publication number: 20060118571Abstract: A media sheet which can be a label sheet assembly is provided with bar code information thereon defining the layout of the labels on the backing sheet, and/or a validation symbol or mark. A sheet feeding mechanism which may be part of a label peeler has at least one sensor which reads the encoded information and/or the validation symbol, and either takes an action with respect to the sheet, does not take the action, or takes a different action with respect to the sheet depending on the encoding or symbol on the sheet. The actions can include advancing the label sheet according to the layout of labels on the sheet, dispensing labels depending on the presence of a validation code, or other actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: June 8, 2006Inventors: Stephen Presutti, Wallace Fischer, Bryan Pittman, Bradley Borne, Douglas Wilson, Anahit Tataryan

Publication number: 20060060649Abstract: A modular integrated software and hardware suite accepts data exported from a voter registration database corresponding to requests for mail ballots, sorts the information as necessary for ballot preparation, creates a road map for ballot mailing preparation, provides for mail presorting, scans returned ballot envelopes using a ballot envelope scanner, accepts data from such ballot envelope scanner, and matches the data from the scanned returned ballots with information in the voter registration database, sorts ballots that cannot be electronically matched to a particular voter into a separate stack for manual processing, automates the signature verification process for electronically matched ballots, and returns updated data to the voter registration database. A ballot envelope scanner uses a passive feed system, a separator brush, a variable speed straight paper path to minimize jamming through the ballot envelope scanner.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2005Publication date: March 23, 2006Applicant: Diebold Election Sytems, Inc.Inventors: Brian Brucker, Harminder Patria, Brian Clubb, Lester Wright, Bryan Pittman, Donald Nelson, Robert Leonard, Bradley Borne, Brett Barrett, Jerry Wagoner, Gary Lemmon, John Elder, Darrin Heffernan

Publication number: 20050121146Abstract: A printer for use with a label assembly having a liner and a plurality of labels. The printer may include a peeling edge, a drive subassembly, and a manually actuatable peel-selector subassembly. The drive subassembly may be configured to move the label assembly through the printer and over the peeling edge. The peel-selector subassembly may be configured to enable a user to manually select between a non-peel mode and a peel mode. In a non-peel mode, the label assembly is moved over the peeling edge with the labels are attached to the liner; that is, labels are not removed from the liner while being dispensed from the printer. In a peel mode, the label assembly is moved over the peeling edge so that the labels are separated or peeled away from the liner.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2004Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: Robert Leonard, Bradley Borne, Bryan Pittman
